Pro Bike Gallery: Tom Boonen's Specialized Venge S-Works

Omega Pharma-Quick Step’s Tom Boonen will have a fleet of Specialized bicycles to choose from, between the three Specialized S-Works road bikes, the Venge, Roubaix, and Tarmac. When we caught up with Boonen at his team training camp, in Calpe, Spain, he was aboard a 2014 Venge S-Works, outfitted with SRAM Red 22, Zipp 404 wheels, and a mix of Zipp and Specialized components.

Boonen has been riding SRAM for years. Last season, OPQS riders had the option to run SRAM HydroR rim brakes, but this year they will be limited to the SRAM Red Aerolink calipers. Photo: BrakeThrough Media | VeloNews.com

OPQS is riding Zipp bars, stems, and on some road bikes, seatposts. Boonen rides the SL Sprint Stem and Service Course SL Ergo handlebars. Boonen uses a Garmin head unit, and keeps it mounted with a single black band, instead of the standard two. You’ll also notice the stack on Boonen’s stem, as it’s slammed.

While Boonen’s chainring looks to be an aero time trial design, it is a standard 53-tooth big ring. We don’t know much more than that, as it’s not currently offered by SRAM. Photo: BrakeThrough Media | VeloNews.com

Boonen opts for the carbon railed Specialized Chicane S-Works in black, which of course matches the bar tape. The Chicane saddle was designed by Boonen himself. Photo: BrakeThrough Media | VeloNews.com

Logan VonBokel

Equally at home on a mountain bike above treeline and chasing down moves in the heat and humidity of a Midwest criterium, Logan Vonbokel is something of an oddity in cycling. Since he first swung a leg over a road bike as a freshman in high school, Logan has been a lover of both cutting-edge technological innovations and the clean lines of classic handmade bikes. Logan joined the tech team in May 2012, bringing with him nearly a decade of high-caliber road racing experience and his undying love for the mud, cowbells, and culture of cyclocross. Logan still races at the Cat. 2 level on the road and in cyclocross, and carries a seldom-used Cat. 1 mountain bike license.
